Bullish ☀️ Shines on ETH, Upside Potential For The Entire WeekThe deadline for the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to decide whether to approve or reject eight spot Ether ETF applications on its table lapses in less than two months. However, there seems to be little contact with the concerned asset managers, contrary to last fall prior to the approval of the first nine spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US.
“Re Eth ETF approval, we are holding the line at 25% odds altho tbh it is a very pessimistic 25%. The lack of engagement seems to be purposeful vs procrastination. No positive signs/intel anywhere you look. Personally hope they do approve it but it just ain't looking good,” Bloomberg’s ETF analyst, Eric Balchunas, said.
The Chief Legal Officer of Grayscale, Craig Salm remains confident of their approval. “In the final months leading up to #Bitcoin ETF approval, @Grayscale and others received positive and constructive engagement from the SEC. We had thoughtful conversations and discussed the finer details of creation/redemption procedures, cash v. in-kind, APs, LPs, custody etc.”
“All of these issues were figured out and are identical when comparing spot #Bitcoin to #Ethereum ETFs. The only difference is rather than the ETF holding bitcoin, it holds ether. So in many ways, the SEC already has engaged and issuers simply have less to engage on this time,” Salm added.
The price of Ether fell 1.4 percent to $3,609 over the past 24 hours.
Mixed trading conditions lie ahead for the global crypto market in the next 24 hours, with a bullish sun shining over Bitcoin and Ether. Bearish clouds, signaling downside risks, linger over Ripple’s XRP, Cardano and Binance Coin.
The forecast is sunnier over a one-week horizon, with all cryptocurrencies covered by ATTMO likely to profit from upside potential, Ethereum included.
